There's a 5-megapixel camera in the Desire C that offers you to tweak pretty much the same options as found on the manufacturer's higher-end devices. There are numerous settings, so if you're into that kind of stuff, you can try and squeeze the most out of the snapper.

As you can expect from a low-end HTC model, the camera is nothing to write home about. Colors are relatively realistic, but detail levels are very low. Much lower than what you'd expect from a normal 5MP sensor.

Video is taken at a maximum resolution of 640x480 pixels, and overall, the quality is disastrous, but since it's very smooth at near 30 fps, it's still good for basic usage.

HTC Desire C Sample Video:

The HTC Desire C is a Beats Audio phone, but that's as far as the software goes, as the bundled earphones are regular HTC ones. As we've said many times, the Beats sound is far from authentic, but it can prove to be pretty good if you are listening to modern musical genres.

The speakerphone of the handset is nothing special. It's actually on the quieter side, but has a relatively clean sound that doesn't irritate your ears with crackling or overly sharp noises.

The Desire C can play videos at up to 800x480 resolution in various formats out of the box. You can try a third-party player to enable support for higher resolutions, but there's not too much use in this as the screen itself is 480x320 pixels.

Giving Xperia U a rate of 7.5 while HTC Desire C is 8? Why? and How? Xperia U's display, camera, and processor. The things that Xperia U lacks with are microSD slot and ICS. But ICS will come to it in a little time. I don't really get why.

At least they bumped the screen size up, if it really a spiritual successor to the wildfire. I wish they had bumped the processor up a little, but I guess it's a more of a budget device...Does look slick though!

It isn't overrated because Android 4.0 largely adds to it's value and that's something no other budget smartphone has yet. The only letdown I see is the 600mHz processor but on the other hand Sense 4 makes it look like a premium budget device.

Uh? The Xperia Ray is MUCH better. It was recently updated to ICS, and has seen a great price drop to less than $250, i've seen it new for $230. Granted, it has a narrower screen, but the 3.3 inch screen has 854x480 resolution and almost 300 ppi. It has a 1ghz processor, and greatly optimized, handles flash like a champ. It has an 8mpx camera with 720p recording. The design is equal or better, and for those who care, it's thinner and should look more attractive. That score is too generous for the price tag, you really need to take older phones into consideration more, given the crazy price drops they usually get.

I'm having a Desire C as a standby handset connected to Internet 24/7. Its battery backup is excellent. 3days 11hrs 59mins and still 67% left. No calls were made. Only using for Browsing. Thumbs Up for me.

This phone is £150-£200 that's pretty bad for the price considering the xperia tipo has the same processor at 800mhz, ICS, the same amount of RAM, equal if not better build quality, same resoultion screen and a better pixel density all for £90

For that little amount of money I did not expect a miracle, However, I was really impressed by that phone, I have it now for about 1 month .. Its actually pretty awesome, Though sometimes when You override the processor/ram limits it gets a little slow but it recovers fast to its normal condition, and it doesn't have a second camera or an LED flash, However the 5 mega-pixels camera preform good enough .. But i'v got my digital camera so i don't actually care about that .. I totally recommend this phone specially in case You don't care about the camera
